InetSoft Product Documentation: Business Highlights Dashboard

InetSoft's Style Intelligence offers an easily modified powerful analytic visualization dashboard. This enables users to study fluctuations and trends at a glance. View the example below to see how you might benefit from this invaluable analytic tool.

You can highlight specific geographic levels in a map based on the data they represent. For example, you can highlight an entire state, or highlight just the cities within the state.

In this example, you will highlight in green all the states where the Sum(Quantity Purchased) ranges from 0-1500, and highlight in red all the states where the Sum(Quantity Purchased) ranges from 1500-5000.

1. Right-click the map, and select ‘Properties’ from the context menu. This opens the ‘Map Properties’ dialog box.

2. Select the Data tab. From the ‘Value Display’ menu, select ‘Value’. This will display numeric values on the map, rather than state names.

InetSoft Viewpoint

"You actually use more business intelligence capabilities. So in between the execution phase and the final evaluation, you’re constantly tracking and monitoring your performance so you can tune your execution. That’s where business intelligence with dashboards for analysis and monitoring come in. And in between the evaluation phase and incorporating your learnings or findings and adapting your strategy, you need to do some in-depth analytics. That’s the more traditional forecasting or predictive analytics as well as things like data mining. So there is a piece that is more business intelligence as it relates to the management system, and then there is a piece that is more performance management, and you couple them together. After some months of active use of the platform, go back to the users and find out where they get value out of the system, what they’ve been using it for, and start to use those thought leaders, the folks that have been the most aggressive users getting this value out of it. Use them, perhaps, as a way to add the additional performance management capabilities into the organization." - Mark Flaherty, CMO, InetSoft
